2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gustavsson's fall in 2023-24 was epic. His GAA went up almost a full goal (2.10 to 3.06) and his save percentage went from elite to below average (.931 to .899). Together, he and Marc Andre Fleury were the second-worst pairing in the league in GSAx (goals saved above expected) with a -16.72. Gustavsson's own GSAx nosedived more than 28 goals. He did rebound a bit in the second half, going 7-5-2 with a .906 save percentage after the All-Star Game. Can he rebound? Probably, but it's hard to know how far. That's why the 26-year-old netminder has been the subject of summer trade rumors because elite prospect Jesper Wallstedt is waiting in the wings. Gustavsson's best option may be in another city. He's a watch-and-wait option for your draft unless risk is your middle name. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, $11.25 million contract with the Wild in July of 2023.
Available for Monday

January 19, 2025
Gustavsson (illness) is expected to return to the lineup in Monday's road game versus Colorado, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Due to Gustavsson's absence, Dylan Ferguson was Marc-Andre Fleury's backup in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Nashville. Ferguson returned to AHL Iowa on Sunday. Gustavsson was going to start Monday's matchup initially, but it's unclear if his illness changed those plans. He has posted a record of 18-9-3 with a 2.58 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 31 appearances this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Gustavsson staked his claim to an NHL job with gusto last year, recording a 22-9-7 record, a 2.10 GAA and a .931 save percentage with three shutouts in 39 games. He's set to once again share time with Marc-Andre Fleury in between the pipes for the Wild, but it's clear that this is a battle Gustavsson will ultimately win as Fleury's NHL time is running out. Fantasy managers shouldn't be scared of the playing-time split, as Gustavsson will likely continue to benefit from easing into the No. 1 job with a veteran safety net behind him. This is a tandem to target collectively, though coming away with either Gustavsson or Fleury alone isn't a disaster.
Gustavsson saw action in 18 games for the rebuilding Senators a season ago, managing a 5-12-1 record, 3.55 GAA and .892 save percentage. He was flipped to Minnesota in July in exchange for veteran goaltender Cam Talbot. Gustavsson will play this entire season at age 24 and has just 27 NHL appearances under his belt, but he should be considered the favorite to back up future Hall-of-Famer Marc-Andre Fleury this coming year. The Wild will almost certainly limit the workload of the 37-year-old Fleury, so Gustavsson could easily play 30-plus games for Minnesota in 2022-23.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Should return Monday
GMinnesota Wild
January 19, 2025
Gustavsson will likely return from an illness Monday against Colorado, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Dylan Ferguson returning to the AHL on Sunday, it appears that Gustavsson, who missed Saturday's game with an illness, will be healthy enough to return Monday against the Avs. Gustavsson was previously expected to start Monday over Marc-Andre Fleury, but it's possible the Swede's illness has shifted those plans.
